Ohm, am I missing something here? I have not made this dish because I am looking for a CHOW MEIN dish, isn't chow mein a NOODLE? I see no noodles in this recipe, I don't get it, this is just a chicken dish, where's the chow mein part?

I have tried this recipe several times, I thought it needed kicking up a notch. So I basically made a new recipe by adding 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 box sliced fresh portobello baby mushrooms, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon ginger root, 1 pound of fresh green beans, 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/2 bag of bean sprouts. I used two cans of chicken broth and enough cornstarch to make it a little thicker. This turned out very flavorful!

Most of us think of chow mein as having noodles in it. If you wish to try this, I recommend buying chow mein noodles (not the hard ones in the can, but the ones you boil like pasta. Find it in the asian food section. In better stores, try choe mein udon noodles and cook according to directions) Fry the noodles after cooking in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to which three tablespoons of soy sauce (I recommend low sodium!) 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and grated ginger. Chinese five spice can be used to taste also. Serve this basic recipe over the noodles.
